From Millsy: Star Wars Legion Empire (225 points)

G'day All,

Another batch of Star Wars Legion hot off the painting desk - this time it's the Imps.

Scout Bikes, Scout Troopers and a Skiff

That sounds like the start of some sort of weird Star Wars joke - Scout Bikes, Scout Troopers and a Skiff walk into a Mos Eisley cantina.... I've already got some scouts in my collection so I've added a red unit insignia to help me distinguish the two sets of units on the table. I'm bulking out a lot of my existing stuff so I can play larger games using a community mod of Bolt Action.

The Scouts are time consuming to paint, navigating around the white to paint the black under suit, but they look pretty sharp when done. 

Stormtroopers and Transport

These fellas were picked up super cheap at MOAB to also bulk out my forces. I have something like 40 of the buggers now so there's plenty of chaff to get mowed down in various futile endeavours. Such is the life of a faceless, nameless mook in the service of the Empire! At least these guys get to ride to their inevitable demise courtesy of a 3D printed troop transport.

Inferno Squad

I really enjoyed painting these guys. Several different treatments for black to give them some variation isn't as obvious in the photos as I'd like but they look cool enough IRL so I'm happy with that.

Points total

• 2 x 32mm Scout bikes + riders = 50 points
• 6 x 32mm Scouts + Skiff = 50 points
• 14 x 32mm Stormtroopers + Transport = 90 points
• 7 x 32mm Inferno Squad = 35 points

Total = 225 points.

I think that'll be it for the Star Wars Legion for a while, although I do have a pile of Rebels to do and also a collection of 3D printed characters from The Mandalorian which I am saving as a special treat to reward myself at some point.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Millsy

Terrific work on these Imperials, Millsy! Even though the bikes may be a bit of a challenge, you've certainly made then look spiffy under your deft brush. They look keen and ready to fly into the side of a cantina or Bantha. Of course, the Inferno Squad looks much more efficient, ominous and chilling with their black uniform and gear (lovely contrast on the blacks btw). I also like the printed troop transport, though I wonder if they draw straws to be the poor buggers slung outside. Such is the life of an Imperial Trooper, I suppose!

Lovely work! I look forward to seeing what you shift gears to.

From ScottM: Stormtroopers! (147 Points)

For my last contribution to this year's challenge, I went with a large group of Star Wars Legion Stormtroopers. These are from Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Legion line.

There's 21 of these guys with 3 being commanders, 3 with missile launchers, 3 with repeating blaster rifles and the rest with blasters. A bit tedious to paint but once they're done they look pretty swell.




So that should be 21 x 40mm foot figs = 147 points

Thank you to Curt and his team for putting on a fun paint challenge and I look forward to next year!


SW Legion does seem to be a very popular theme for entries this year, and here are some more very nice chaps in white.
